The vlogger opens by watching a driverless truck carry containers with no one at the wheel. He says he is back in Ningbo, which he calls one of China's most underrated gems, and this time goes to the Ningbo Zhoushan Port. He gives figures for the port: over 1.3 billion tons of cargo a year, the busiest port in the world by tonnage, with shipping routes connecting over 600 ports in 200 plus countries and regions. From a 12th-floor viewing platform at a container terminal he looks down on a dense grid of containers. He says this terminal has handled over 10 million containers a year for eight straight years. He points out wind turbines and solar panels that supply clean electricity to the port, and a full service energy station with hydrogen production, refueling and gas supply, where a container truck fills up in about 10 minutes. The port already runs 13 hydrogen-powered vehicles. Next he visits another terminal with digital twins, AI routing and a remote control center where operators run bridge cranes remotely. Outside, driverless container trucks follow pre-programmed routes, and he rides in one as it stops under a crane to load a container. He then shows an intelligent battery swap station where electric container trucks get a fresh battery in about 5 minutes with no staff, and says each swap saves nearly an hour compared with charging. The last part of the video is the NPF 2025 port forum, with port leaders and officials, an exhibition area with smart shipping and green logistics displays, and a culture zone with intangible cultural heritage, snacks, performances and calligraphy, which he tries and says he does badly. He closes by calling the port a symbol of China's modern port system.
The vlogger returns to Ningbo to see the Ningbo Zhoushan Port, which he says handles over 1.3 billion tons of cargo a year and is the busiest port in the world by tonnage. He starts on a 12th-floor viewing platform above a container terminal, then visits a hydrogen energy station, a remote control center where operators run cranes from screens, and driverless container trucks moving boxes with no driver. He sees a battery swap station for electric trucks, then walks through the NPF 2025 port forum, its exhibition area and a culture zone where he tries calligraphy.
A look at Ningbo Zhoushan Port: container terminal views, hydrogen and battery swap stations, remote cranes, driverless trucks and a port forum.
Ningbo Zhoushan Port Tour: Driverless Trucks and Smart Port
1:24 At one of the container terminals of the Ningbo Zhoushan Port, the vlogger goes up to a 12th-floor viewing platform. From there you look down on a dense grid of containers stretching all the way to the water line.
3:00 The port has a full service energy station with hydrogen production, refueling and gas supply in one place. The vlogger watches a container truck being filled, which takes about 10 minutes, and says it is quiet with no exhaust or smell.
4:15 Another terminal has a remote control center where operators run massive bridge cranes remotely, with screen walls tracking container flow. The vlogger compares it to a video game that moves real cargo in real time.
4:55 Outside the control center, driverless container trucks glide along pre-programmed routes with no drivers. The vlogger rides in one, sees the wheel turning on its own and watches it stop under a crane to load a container.
6:36 Electric container trucks pull into an intelligent battery swap station that is open 24 hours. A fresh battery is loaded automatically in about 5 minutes, with no human staff, after the truck scans a QR code.
7:33 The vlogger walks through the NPF 2025 forum, where port leaders, port officials, business people and scholars from places like Africa, Europe and Southeast Asia gather to share ideas and trade experience.
8:40 The forum's exhibition area shows smart shipping technology, green logistics innovations and displays of how far China's port systems have developed, which the vlogger describes as infrastructure meeting sustainability.
9:00 The forum also has a culture zone filled with intangible cultural heritage, Chinese arts and crafts, snacks and performances. The vlogger tries his hand at calligraphy and admits he did it terribly.
